Product Description

 A catalog produced to document the exhibition Anna Kunz: Color Cast, a site-specific installation at Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago, March 11 – June 24, 2018. The fully illustrated catalog includes installation photos of Kunz’s draping paintings, raised vibrating platform, and bold wall paintings. An essay by writer and curator Charlotte Ickes explores Kunz’s installation as a painting in space that requires active participation from viewers as well as awareness of overlapping relationships between participants, paintings, and space.

Few painters have achieved the extreme physical scale that Kunz has been tackling incrementally since 2000. Anna Kunz: Color Cast fully envisioned the painted two-dimensional plane as a multi-dimensional and immersive installation. “This way of working allows me to collapse the distance between the viewer and the work, to suggest a new way of seeing the world, where sensation leads and feeling is created before meaning is surmised,” Kunz explains.
